Night without Borders

Chapter 104 Follow the trend
The fire spring dyed the night fog red. In the fairy town of Luofu, the bluestone road surface has been eroded by thousands of years and has long been bumpy and has a mottled ancient style.

The "sunset glow" flowed, and Li Qingyue seemed to be covered with a layer of sacred light. She was quite prestigious, and speaking like this had a great impact.

Li Qingxu, who was dressed in purple, looked slightly changed and felt that something was wrong.

In an instant, a group of non-Buddhist disciples began to whisper, and even the people around Li Qingxu began to feel uncomfortable.

"Li Qingyue, it's none of your business." Li Qingxu spoke, holding a purple bamboo stick and maintaining a calm posture.

He realized that there seemed to be an undercurrent. There was already a mortal enemy provoking him. Li Qingyue's strong statement at this moment seemed to have changed the current situation.

"I don't want to repeat those words a second time!" Li Qingyue was dressed in white, and under the reflection of the fiery clouds, her whole body was emitting a light golden glow.

"Li Qingxu, if we enter the spirit cave, we can settle old scores." Tang Xumi said.

"Li Qingxu, let's fight in the spirit cave tomorrow!" The core disciple Jiang Shengyu spoke without giving any reason.

"Count me in too!" another person expressed his opinion.

In an instant, many people understood that several core disciples had reached a tacit understanding that they would send Li Qingxu away first after entering the spirit cave.

The development of the matter was beyond many people's expectations.

Li Qingxu knew that Li Qingyue swung the sword very hard at the critical moment, putting him in danger.

He knew very well that Tang Xumi had no old scores with him at all. This was clearly a move to take advantage of the situation, to save Li Qingyue's face and get rid of a competitor.

With someone setting the example in front, the core disciples behind can just follow suit.

As various parties expressed their views one after another, his situation became dangerous.

The foreign disciples who originally stood on his side all remained silent. Although no one left, it was hard to say what would happen after they entered the spirit cave tomorrow.

Because no one wants to go against the general trend. If those core disciples really join forces, how can they resist?
Li Qingxu said in a deep voice: "They are just bluffing and intimidating. When we entered the spiritual cave, we took different paths and would not be surrounded at all. Even if we met a team, it would be difficult to have a bloody fight because we all know each other's true purpose. Right now, these people's words cannot be taken seriously."

He must stabilize the people around him, otherwise, in the process of fighting for the near-immortal objects, he will be overwhelmed due to lack of help.

"Senior Brother Li, we will definitely do our best to help you compete for that legendary item." Zeng Yuan stated.

In the past, he had a good relationship with Qin Ming, and after entering the foreign land, he had become completely close to Li Qingxu.

The last time they met by chance in Black and White Mountain, he, like Zheng Maoze, had no good intentions towards Qin Ming.

"Brother Li, please rest assured. We are on your side." Another disciple from the outside world spoke up.

They and the core disciples complement each other, and the sooner they stand on the side, the better the effect.

Li Qingxu knew very well that although these people had expressed their opinions, they might not approach him immediately after entering the venue tomorrow, and would most likely wait and see first.

He nodded, acting very calmly, maintaining a calm and composed aura. The more he said, the more counterproductive it would be to try to keep someone.

"Of course, that girl is good. She almost defeated a strong competitor with just a few words." Outside Luofuxian Town, a master from the outside world nodded and said.

"If that old senior knew that his new disciple with extraordinary talent might be the first to be eliminated, would he be furious?"

"Shut up, that person can't say anything." Someone reminded.

That old senior was protective and ruthless, and everyone was afraid of him. The majestic Overlord was just one of the celebrities he had killed with a flip of his hand. The older he got, the angrier he became.

A young man outside the town spoke up to defend Li Qingxu, saying, "Junior Sister Li, you are going too far. You have already taken action before we even enter the spirit cave."

However, just as he finished speaking, an old man warned him, "That old disciple, yes, I'm talking about you, shut up immediately and step back!"

Fangwai Di only allowed a group of disciples who participated in the competition to live in the fairy town. The things that happened during the period were also a consideration, and outsiders were not allowed to interfere.

The young man was a little confused at first. He was only 24 years old, how could he be old? At least compared to this old man, he was in his prime.

He didn't dare to talk back, so he stepped back obediently, feeling guilty and stopped talking.

The old man pointed at the group of young people and said, "And you, a group of old disciples, don't get too close, move away."

This group of people all want to ask, who is old?

Cui Chonghe was especially present. His age was similar to that of the young men in Luofu Fairy Town, but he lost the qualification to compete. He was even called an old disciple by an old man. He walked away with an expressionless face.

In Luofuxian Town, after the initial tense confrontation, the atmosphere is now harmonious, and the core disciples are walking together, talking and laughing.

It is difficult to tell whether they are friends or enemies.

In fact, these are just formalities. The core disciples have already had contact in advance, and now they are just demonstrating it to the followers to boost their confidence.

Qin Ming did not follow Li Qingyue to the Fangwai disciples, but looked at those who were taking the Xinsheng Road to judge which ones had practiced the special Tianguang Jin.

A small group of them deserves great attention, because even the core disciples of Fangwai dare not underestimate them.

The abandoned disciples of Tathagata, the disciples of the Five Elements Palace, and the successors of the Jade Purity Power are all considered extremely dangerous people at this stage.

There is no doubt that these people who rely on physical mutation are also looking at each other.

"Brother, if we really meet in the spirit cave, we can spar with each other, but don't kill each other. We are all people walking the same path, true fellow travelers."

"Easy to say!"

"Did you see that boy with arms that go past his knees? His name is He Tai. It is said that he has mastered the Great Ape King Fist to perfection. He has killed an Outer Saint during his freshman period. He is extremely dangerous and has a violent temper. Don't mess with him!"

Qin Ming just took a quick look around and learned a lot of information.

"He Tai, he was also invited to help. This is the first place in the exam selected by the mayor of a super city. He was able to kill an outer saint in the freshman stage. Now he has stepped into the outer manifestation realm. Who can be his opponent?"

In an instant, many people turned their eyes to He Tai, and the discussion about him increased.

Qin Ming couldn't help but look at him, and then he realized that this was the young warrior that the Zheng family had specially invited for Zheng Maoze. "The Great Ape King Power is a super compound Sky Light Power, which is very difficult to practice. A long time ago, He Tai had already entered the hall and was hailed as the future boxing master. Now he has already gained some demeanor."

Qin Ming listened quietly and remembered this dangerous man.

"I am not seeing things, someone from Chunyang Palace has come as well!"

Another powerful figure was identified, Jiang Congyun, a disciple of Chunyang Palace. The Chunyang power of this sect was said to be indestructible and extremely domineering.

This was a young master that Wang Caiwei had invited from a thousand-year-old family who had personally gone to Chunyang Palace to help her.

Many of the non-Buddhist disciples showed expressions of shock. When they were in the Xinzhai and Huangting realms, they needed to be highly alert to some special techniques, otherwise they would really suffer a great loss.

The pure Yang energy is extremely terrifying and can burn and destroy the consciousness!
Wang Caiwei thought highly of Jiang Congyun and kept him by her side, introducing him formally whenever she faced a group of non-Buddhist disciples.

"Who is the abandoned disciple of Tathagata, who is the successor of Yuqing Jin, and where are the disciples of the Five Elements Palace? Do you know them, brother? Give me some advice." Qin Ming asked a burly young man beside him.

"I don't know. They are hiding very deeply. I feel that this kind of people can threaten the core disciples."

……

Not only people from the outside world, but also people who took other roads appeared outside Luofuxian Town, all of them were paying close attention to this competition.

As for the outside world, many places have already opened handicaps where people can bet on which core disciple of Fangwai will win in the end, and it has become a big business.

"The inheritor of Yuqing Jin, the abandoned disciple of Tathagata, Jiang Congyun, Cui Chongxuan, He Tai... Among these specially invited people, who can kill through the spirit cave and have the last laugh? Will anyone defeat some core disciples head-on for the employer and obtain the near-immortal artifact?"

"Let's place a bet. Five Elements Power, Pure Yang Power, Six Imperial Powers... which one is stronger? We can take a gamble."

Obviously, not only the core disciples attracted much attention, but also those who were proficient in terrifying techniques and were specially invited became the targets of betting in various odds.

That evening, in the major cities and many places under the night fog, countless people were talking, and gamblers were placing bets as if they were welcoming a grand event.

Late at night, Qin Ming fell asleep holding the mutton-fat jade iron knife because he was worried about the unrest.

Up to now, all parties are paying close attention to the matter. Even the masters from other places and the direct descendants of the thousand-year-old families have personally gone to invite people. It can be imagined how much importance they attach to this matter.

Nothing happened that night, until just before "dawn", when the fire spring completely revived. When the covering stone slabs were lifted, someone suddenly attacked.

At this critical moment, someone actually took action.

"Li Qingxu, I knew you would come, why bother hiding it?" Li Qingyue pushed the door open and walked out, with a glow of light around her, dispelling the night fog.

There was a figure in front, who silently smashed a house and then retreated without engaging in a head-on fight with Li Qingyue.

Because Tang Xumi also appeared and came to kill him. He whispered, "Shall we join forces to severely injure him and drive him away?"

"There is not enough time." Li Qingyue shook her head. The black shadow was standing at the entrance of Luofu Fairy Town. It would be impossible to kill the opponent instantly if they fought there, and they would be seen by people outside the town.

"He has lost the initiative and wants to attack one of us at night to establish his authority." Tang Xumi said, and then he disappeared in the night mist.

At this time, Qin Ming was fully armed. His golden armor was very dazzling. He had a tall and heroic figure. He carried twelve short spears on his back and a jade iron knife hung from his waist.

He already knew that the golden armor refined by the outsiders was engraved with special runes that could ward off a fatal calamity. After all, his original intention was only to compete for something close to immortality, and he did not want too many casualties.

The runes in the armor explode to form a protective light curtain, which the loser can use to leave the spirit cave.

But there are exceptions to everything. If someone tries to stop him in every possible way and breaks the protective light curtain at all costs, or if the loser himself is unwilling to leave at the first time and consumes the life span of the protective light curtain, then there is naturally a possibility of dying completely in the spirit cave.

Li Qingyue took out a thin golden garment from her room. It was very soft and magical, with fine and soft runes flowing on it.

She whispered, "Put this on too, it will give you two layers of protection."

Qin Ming realized that this was a golden protective garment specially made for core disciples and it was of excellent quality.

He immediately shook his head. He already had the golden armor. If he put on Li Qingyue's life-saving item and she encountered danger, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

"I am strong enough, and no core disciple can kill me. Moreover, I have the means to protect the way. Even if an unexpected situation occurs, I can rush out of the spirit cave in the first place. You... have just been reborn for five times. I am not looking down on you. After all, you have only been on the road of rebirth for a short time. At this stage, you still need time to accumulate. I am afraid that I will not protect you well enough."

Li Qingyue was very frank and told him about her concerns.

Qin Ming shook his head firmly. Although he came to help, she took out the life-saving golden clothes for him to wear, which made him feel warm in his heart. He would never let her fall into an unpredictable danger.

"If you don't wear the golden protective armor, we might as well give up this competition!" Qin Ming said.

Finally, Li Qingyue returned to his room, put on the golden clothes again, and put on a layer of silver armor. He suddenly looked heroic and his temperament was outstanding.

In the early morning, the morning glow from the fire spring spread over the fairy town of Luofu, dispelling the night fog and creating a brilliant scene.

A group of people set out and soon arrived at the ruins of the fairy mountain several miles away and walked towards a cave.

"One group of people will take one route and enter from different passages." A master from the foreign land transmitted the message.

Qin Ming followed Li Qingyue and walked inside along the cave passage. He originally thought that they would go underground and come to a dark place.

Beyond his expectations, he finally set foot in a pine forest. Clear springs were gurgling and there was plenty of light, as if the daytime era had returned.

The other three golden-armored guards were as surprised as Qin Ming.

Li Qingyue was very calm. She looked into the distance and saw an acquaintance, Zheng Maoze, on the flat ground outside the pine forest.

On the other side of the mountain, Li Qingxu came over with a smile and said, "What a coincidence, Li Qingyue, I didn't expect that we would meet at the first opportunity!"

He looked at Zheng Maoze and said, "Let's work together to send her away."

Then he laughed again because he saw Wang Caiwei and Jiang Congyun, a master from Chunyang Palace, appear in the distance.

Li Qingxu said: "Caiwei, let's send Fairy Li off together!"
